The tasting highlighted the new Munson Wine Trail, a designation for a group of wineries located in the far north suburbs of Allen, Frisco, Prosper, Princeton, Rockwall, Ivanhoe, and Whitewright -- many of which have been founded in only the past few years.
The festival featured artists, dancers, food vendors, and kid activities, and jazz acts including the Cow Town Jazz Orchestra, Dan Cavanagh Trio, Set Apart, and the UT Arlington jazz Combo.
The setup was unique: Rather than the usual rows of tents with artists and crafts people, McKinney’s downtown businesses participated. Festivalgoers cruised in and out of the gift and antique shops, while restaurants such as the Londoner and the Spoon Cafe set up tables outside.
